Car was clean so I took some pics.

Didn't want hood stripes, and I have seen this done, but in my opinion not well executed. Got the vinyl done through parkedcar. Thanks Mike!

Here is a pic of wider stance of the 225-40s (vs. stock 215-45) I put on in combination with 3mm spacers.

Custom intake I made (saving more money than Geico!:laugh:)

Thanks...wanted an old school muscle car feel instead of buying just a turbo badge or something like that.:shrug:

Old school muscle car feel on a Mazda with a Mitsubishi inspired license plate....Must have sounded better in Spanglish :laugh:

Wheels look good man, but really not feeling the vinyl on the hood, maybe if it were a different color that kinda blended like dark Grey or even gun metal.

Cars still looking good though mang...keep it up...

Thought about different colors....but the flat black matches the trim.;)
 
Definitely catches your eye, Hector. I might have gone just slightly smaller if it were me- but it looks cool. I think the placement saves it. :cool:

Oh- and get an '3VIL 3' plate or something.. lol!
 
i dunno hector, i usually like your taste in aesthetic mods, but i have to say i'm not feelin' the hood vinyl. sticks out like a sore thumb imho.


and change that damn license plate already!
 
Thanks for the comments. At first I thought the vinyl was too big....after looking at it some more....I am still on the fence.:laugh:

As soon as I have some extra $ I will be getting this plate:

SICSPD3 :cool:
 
My homeboy got one the same color as yours. He paint his rims flat black and the grill black, alcohol injection. I love these cars.
 
not feeling the vinyl, although maybe in an etched-glass kind of color it would look cool...however, the wide stance looks awesome! :)
 
Excuse me, Could you please tell me the displacement and induction method of this fine automobile?

Oh wait, I now see the extremely plain and ugly lettering you've attached to the hood. Nevermind.


:nonono: You can do better; just because you can, doesn't mean you should.

Plain? I used the same font as under the hood. If I had used a different font it would have came out terrible like this:

I thought it was a good idea, but poorly executed. That is why I changed it...:shrug:
 
I don't like the hood vinyl, and the car is absolutely begging for a subtle hood scoop (if available).
The wide stance looks great!
